A refreshing summer salad, made with sweet watermelon, peppery arugula and feta cheese.

The first time tried this salad I was in a very trendy neighborhood eatery in Brooklyn and this salad was a wonderful surprise. All the ingredients compliment each so well and it’s so pretty to look at too. Give this a try, it’s perfectly yummy with grilled dishes!

My grandmother always said that watermelons are at the best and at their peek right around 4th of July. So needless to say with that holiday fast approaching I have been craving watermelon. Thanks for sharing this fresh salad!

I have made this salad with Butter lettuce and watercress. The watercress gives it that same kind of peppery kick that arugula does. Really any kind of greens other than iceberg lettuce. Baby spinach would be great,too.

I believe you have changed my life!! I have spent so much time on this blog in the last 24 hours that I can't even remember who to thank for getting me here! I hate following recipes because I can not put half of the fattening, processed stuff in them that they call for….so I end up substituting…and since I'm no chef, it usually turns out AWFUL!! So I stick to plain and simple or just snap and throw in the towel! I can not believe that you can do this all with a full time job, but bless you for sharing!!

P.S. what kind of food processor do you have? I need one, and would love your imput!!

To Door – I'm not Gina (who would probably come up with a whole 'nuther way to do it)but I would take the component parts in different containers and then put it together at work in/on the serving dish. That way you could prepare it the night before.

I added a couple of tablespoons of juice from the watermelon to the dressing and cut the olive oil down to 1 tbsp and it was great with less points. And I added chicken on top to make it a complete meal.

This was a great summertime dinner to bring to go see some fireworks. Thanks!

I thoroughly enjoyed this salad I love the saltiness of the feta paired with sweet watermelon and peppery arugula and I just love red onion anytime, my husband didn't like the watermelon with balsamic but that is just a personal preference but I LOVED it!! Thanks 🙂
